Excepting the True Naam, the rest is all trash. Four things alone are eternal and lasting: Naam or Sound Current; Sadhu or a disciplined soul well established in Word; Guru or Word-personified, with a divine commission to contact others with the Naam; and lastly, Gobind or the Lord God – the Eternally Formless One.GURU TEG BAHADUR

Everything is within the Controlling Power of Naam:Naam is just a pure gift from God;He alone may get the gift through the Guru, to whomsoever He may grant it,O Nanak! all is within the mighty grip of the Naam, He alone is blessed with Word, who may be so ordained.GURU AMAR DAS
